What you're looking for is 'Color Confidence: The Digital Photographer's Guide to Color Management' by Tim Grey, ISBN: 0782143164. I don't have it myself but it's been very strongly recommended to me and seems to have some good reviews - for example, see http://www.kickstartnews.com/reviews/books/color_confidence.html

Two books I use a lot are "The Advanced Digital Photographers Workbook" by Yvonne Butler
and "Adobe PhotoshopCS for Photographers" by Martin Evening, both by Focal Press.
I would be lost without them.

When you really get serious about this - you will have to buy hardware to get a good colour callibration. These things are attached to the screen and will help you callibrate the monitor. Am saving up for one myself too.

I use the Pantone color vision spyder 2 along with the pantone color matching system.

Martial,

Color Management is a huge and complex subject. Some of the books mentioned above touch on it, but only 'Color Confidence: The Digital Photographer's Guide to Color Management'  covers it in any depth, and would be my recommendation if you're coming at the subject from a photographer's point of view.

If you want to really get into the hard science, the ICC website would be the place to start looking around: http://www.color.org

If you just want to learn how to use CMS software and hardware effectively, I'd find a local dealer who provides training and/or workshops. These cost money, sometimes a lot, but you can get quite a lot out of them.
